A new study has confirmed the existence of a cave on the moon that could serve as a shelter for future explorers. The cave, located in the Mare Tranquillitatis Pit, offers a potential base for astronauts, shielding them from the dangerous radiation experienced on the lunar surface. This discovery, reported by the Associated Press, highlights the potential for hundreds of similar structures on the moon that could be used for future missions. The cave is believed to be an empty lava tube, providing a hospitable hideaway beneath the lunar surface. An international team of scientists confirmed the cave's existence through scans of a pit in the region.
